Ooooh that waskally wabbit

Ugh, I really don't know what can be done anymore, I feel as though we must have been drugged, and are doomed to carry on in a state of utter apathy and drool, it's the only explanation I can think of for the current State of the Union. Did he slip us a roofie, put a Mickey in our cocktail, was it a tryptophan overdose??? How do we continue to let things slide? It is truly mind boggling to know just how little we actually care about this Democracy, our Government, and not mind being the biggest schmucks in the history of the world. But I still am a patriotic girl who longs for the days when our flag proudly stated "Don't tread on me", who soulfully misses my government, the separation of powers, checks and balances, the fact that the only true presidential power is the power to persuade, and rockin' the vote! Some nights I fall asleep listening to the Nightly Business Report on PBS, and lately I have been having the most horrible nightmares, I wake up, panicked, sweating that our economy has collapsed and all student loans have been eliminated! It's all too hard on a girl! As sharing, and specifically sharing information, is the most amazing thing, it really makes me happy, I would like to share with you, this fantastic article from Slate.com, which I hope is fuel for those apathy blues, perhaps it could be the springboard some revolutionary ideologies...oh silly tormenting pipedreams.
